Once you have configured a pair of Edge 8000 devices for High Availability (HA) and installed an HA license, you can select HA-related configuration options from the web-based SBC SWe Edge user interface. The following topics describe user interface changes related to HA that appear within the five general tabs of the SWe Edge WebUI.
Settings Tab
By default, in the Settings tab you can only configure the settings of your SBC SWe Edge through the Active instance. The Standby instance is mainly in a view-only permissions mode unless otherwise specified. Signaling Groups Networking Interfaces Logical Interfaces HA Interface Field Descriptions You can configure all the interfaces on the Active instance, but can only configure the Admin IP and High Availability interfaces on the Standby instance. Node-Level Settings HA Interface Field Descriptions The Active and Standby instances reboot after you enable HA and change the local or remote IP addresses. Install New License SIP The Global Date/Time Format configuration field is added to the Global Log Configuration pane. The Global Date/Time Format configuration field has two options: Default and RFC 5424. The Global Date/Time Format shows the date/time format used in the log lines.

By default, in the Tasks tab, you can only configure the settings of your SBC SWe Edge through the Active instance. The Standby instance is mainly in a view-only permissions mode unless otherwise specified. System HA Software Upgrade HA Software Upgrade is available on the Active instance only.

Media System Configuration Certificates Modify Ethernet IP Address Auto Configuration In the Diagnostics tab, you can perform the tasks and subtasks on both the Active and the Standby instances unless otherwise specified. Logs Both the Active and the Standby instances display the peer instance's WebUI link. When you configure an HA pair, web servers run on both the Active and the Standby instances. These servers are configured so that if you navigate to the Standby instance on standard web ports: 80 and 443, you are automatically redirected to the Active instance to facilitate changing HA configurations. You can view the peer instance's WebUI link on both the Active and the Standby instances. Note that you can use non-standard web ports to view the link for the Standby instance on the Active instance. Software Upgrade Software Upgrade is added under Diagnostics for HA. Software Upgrade only upgrades the HA instance that you are currently in. Ribbon does not encourage upgrading HA instances individually. If you need to upgrade an HA instance individually, contact Ribbon Support. Overview By default, in the Monitor tab you can only configure the settings of your SBC SWe Edge through the Active instance. The Standby instance is mainly in a view-only permissions mode unless otherwise specified. SBC Edge Real-Time MonitorTasks Tab
